Just thought i'd share a few pics of my A.Hoogaboomorum.

Male is around 7.5-8" female 7"

hmm they look like barred midas to me the red kind but i'm no expert on amphilophus

Got them from Rapps about 2 yars ago, they've only developed the orange tint recently. Im not sure whether this is the result of me feeding them colour enhancing Koi pellets, or whether this is their natural colour as adults? They recently spawned for the first time, but ate the eggs within a day. There arent many photos online to compare.
